FutureHealth.live is the website of Dr. Joel Selanikio — physician, technologist, and public speaker. The site explores how technology, especially AI, is transforming healthcare by shifting power from institutions to individuals. Essays examine how consumer tools such as wearables, pharmaceutical advancements, and consumer tech are reshaping what healthcare means — and how much of it we need.

He created Magpi, the first cloud-based data collection platform for global health, and has served as a CDC epidemiologist, Ebola responder, and consultant to WHO, DARPA, and FEMA.
